If you are using Windows XP, this won’t work. Skip down to Step 5 of this section.

If you don’t see this menu, there may be something wrong with your drivers or your computer manufacturer may have disabled the option. Skip down to Step 4 for more ways to rotate the screen.

Landscape - This is the default option for standard monitors. Portrait - This will rotate the display 90° to the right so that the right edge of the monitor is now the bottom of the display. Landscape (flipped) - This will flip your screen upside down so that the top edge of the monitor is now the bottom. Portrait (flipped) - This will rotate the display 90° the opposite, so that the left edge becomes the bottom of the display.

Ctrl+Alt+↓ - Flip the screen upside down. Ctrl+Alt+→ - Rotate the screen 90° to the right. Ctrl+Alt+← - Rotate the screen 90° to the left. Ctrl+Alt+↑ - Return the screen to the standard landscape orientation.

Look for the “Rotate” or “Orientation” option. In the Nvidia control panel, look for the “Rotate display” option in the left menu. In the AMD Catalyst Control Center, you can find the “Rotation” menu in the Desktop Properties section. For Intel, you can find the “Rotation” selector in the “Display Settings” menu.

Right-click on your desktop and select “Catalyst Control Center”. Click the “Preferences” button and select “Hotkeys”. Select “Display Manager” from the drop-down menu, and then set the key combinations you want to use for the different rotation options. The key combinations in Step 4 are not typically used for other functions, making them a good choice. Make sure to check the boxes to enable your new hotkeys.

AMD and Nvidia have hardware detection tools that will automatically detect the graphics card you are using and provide the latest drivers. You can run these tools from their driver download pages, or you can search for your specific model if you know it. If you want to look up what model graphics adapter you have, press ⊞ Win+R and type dxdiag. Click the “Display” tab to see your graphics adapter manufacturer and model.

If you want to try to rotate an internal display, such as on a MacBook or iMac, see Step 6.

Click the Apple menu and select System Preferences. Press and hold ⌘ Cmd+⌥ Opt and click the “Displays” option. Your built-in display should have a rotation menu available. [3] X Research source
